Effect of the 2020 parental benefit increase in the Czech Republic on labor supply
Šarboch, Matěj ; Pertold, Filip (advisor) ; Pertold-Gebicka, Barbara (referee)
Family policies can have significant impacts on individuals' behaviour in the labor mar- ket. Parental benefits policies are a prominent example. In 2020, the Czech government increased the amount of benefits paid out to parents from 220,000 CZK to 300,000 CZK. This thesis studies the effects of this reform on parents' labor supply using a difference- in-differences identification and the Labor force survey collected by the Czech Statistical Office. The results show that mothers with their youngest child being 2 or 3 years old significantly decreased their usual weekly hours worked as well as their labor force par- ticipation rate as a result of this reform. Mothers with a university degree and mothers with only one child are the most affected groups. This thesis is the first analysis of this reform and it contributes to the existing literature on effects of family policy changes and also serves as the public policy evaluation.
Demand for Non-Residential Parking in Prague
Šarboch, Matěj ; Šťastná, Lenka (advisor) ; Nevrla, Matěj (referee)
Parking is an important issue of everyday life. Nowadays, as the amount of cars is rising, to find a free parking space is paramount. There are issues such as cruising for parking and parking spillovers, which need to be dealt with using sensible parking regulation. This regulation should represent a compromise between the municipality, the residents and the drivers. To know the effects of any regulation, we first need to examine how the demand for non-residential parking is affected and by which factors. This thesis is trying to identify the factors that affect the demand for non-residential parking and to what extent. To model the parking demand, data from Golemio Prague City Data is used. The main results are that the demand for parking is negatively affected by price and that it is price inelastic. It is affected differently in different parking zones and varies during the week and the year. The results could serve as a tool for the municipality of Prague to handle this issue in eventual future reforms of the system.
